Custom regulations in UK

[Drhadidy]

HI good people...
I wanted to get some stuff from fasttech.com and wanted to make sure if there are any regulations in the custom or any taxes or fees to expect...
Things will be a regulated mod, 5ml tank Rta, dripper, battery and charger, and 5 cubis coils.
I would appreciate a quick response as my friend is travelling soon and I need to decide if to order or not.
Thank u

Okay, from what I see e-cigs are neither on the tobacco nor banned goods. You might want to check out this page, it should be helpful. As far as I can see, though, you should be able to import your fasttech gear, then mail it to the UK. If they decide to lump it under cigarettes, you'd still be under the allowance. I sort of have this feeling that customs are kinda chill in the UK, so the worst that may happen is that the box is held at the post office, or sent back, but you aren't facing any kind of legal action.

Your main beef may be how long it takes for those fasttech goods to arrive. So I hear.

Here's the UK customs thread:
Bringing goods into the UK: Arrivals from outside the EU - GOV.UK

Hope everything works out!

The only 2 major problems I would see is in regard to the EU TPD as a whole, even though UK Brexit, they are still being hit by the TPD

1) No Tanks over 2ml in capacity
2) I think liquid bottle size is limited to 10ml max

So I'd peruse over the TPD regulations.

I would ask that question at the Fasttech Veterans thread.

It's a FastTech thread in the UK subforum. Just about all the participants are British FastTech customers.

I've never had an issue with customs when buying from FastTech (it helps that they will put a very low value on the customs declaration).
If you opt for UK epacket (costs around an extra $1) at checkout you should recieve your package in 7-10 days. Using regular (free) post will mean a 3-4 week delivery time unless the shipping gods are with you...
If in doubt order your items in seperate shipments of around $20-30 each. And beware the shipping times listed on goods. If you're in a hurry only order items with 'ships next day' or 'in stock' on the product page.
....And that just about sums up shopping at FT
